BACKGROUND

The disclosure relates to the field of height measurement, and more particularly to a height measurement system.

Currently, there are two methods for height measurement: the first is to directly use a tape measure or a height sticker with a scale fixed on a wall to measure height. The method generally estimates the highest point of the head through visual observation, which is prone to data deviation. The second is to use professional height measurement equipment for height measurement, which is commonly used in large medical facilities. However, the professional height measurement equipment is bulky and difficult to carry, so it is not suitable for domestic use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To further illustrate the disclosure, embodiments detailing a height measurement system are described below. It should be noted that the following embodiments are intended to describe and not to limit the disclosure.

Example 1

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a height measurement system of the disclosure; and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a digital tape measure of the disclosure.

The height measurement system 10 comprises a head plate 105, a first fixed assembly 102, a second fixed assembly 104, and a digital tape measure 103. The first fixed assembly 102 is configured to connect to an external fixing part independent of the height measurement system 10 so that the height measurement system is fixed on the external fixing part for use. The head plate 105 is configured to move downwards from the first fixed assembly 102 to the top of the user's head under the action of external force. The second fixed assembly 104 is disposed on the head plate 105 and moves with the movement of the head plate 105. The digital tape measure 103 comprises a mounting assembly 113 and a tape 111 disposed in the mounting assembly 113. One of the mounting assembly 113 and the tape head 111a is attached to the first fixing assembly 102, and the other is connected to the second fixed assembly 104. After the height measurement system 10 is disposed on the fixing part, the first fixed assembly 102 is connected to the fixing part at a height greater than the height of the user. By moving the head plate 105 downwards, that is, towards the ground, the head plate 105 can be moved to the top of the user's head. The height measurement system 10 of the example has a smaller volume and occupies less space, and multiple components are connected to each other in a detachable way, so it is easy to store and carry.

Specifically, that one of the mounting assembly 113 and the tape head 111a is attached to the first fixing assembly 102, and the other is connected to the second fixed assembly 104 refers to the following two modes: first, the mounting assembly 113 is connected to the first fixed assembly 102, and the tape head 111a is connected to the second fixed assembly 104; second, the mounting assembly 113 is connected to the second fixed assembly 104 and the tape head 111a is connected to the first fixed assembly 102. When the first installation method is adopted, the tape head 111a moves with the head plate 105; when the second installation method is adopted, the tape head 111a is fixed, and the mounting assembly 113 and the tape 111 inside the mounting assembly 113 move with the head plate 105.

As an implementation mode, the fixing part is a wall, a door, etc.

As an implementation mode, the height measurement system 10 also includes a memory 114 and a data acquisition unit 115; the memory 114 stores the standard height value H1 of the first fixed assembly 102 connected to the fixing part. The data acquisition unit 115 is used to obtain the first tensile length L1 of the tape 111 when the head plate 105 moves from the first fixed assembly 102 to the top of the user's head, and transmit the first tensile length L1 to the memory 114. The memory 114 is configured to calculate the height T of the user based on the standard height value H1 and the first tensile length L1, i.e. T=H1−L1. In this way, the height measurement system 10 can directly obtain the height of the user. The height of the user is calculated through the memory 114, and the result is objective, accurate, and intelligent.

For example, if the standard height value H1 is set to 180 cm, and the first tensile length L1 obtained by the data acquisition unit 115 is 10 cm, the memory can calculate the height of the user based on the stored standard height value H1 180 cm, that is, 180 cm−10 cm=170 cm.

In another implementation, the height measurement system 10 also includes a data receiving device 116, which is used to receive the actual height value H2 of the first fixed assembly 102 connected to the fixing part. The memory 114 is also configured to calculate the height of the user based on the actual height value H2 and the first tensile length L1. In this way, the error caused by the difference between the actual height and the standard height of the measured value can be eliminated.

For example, if the standard height value H1 is set to 180 cm, and the actual height value H2 of the first fixed assembly 102 connected to the fixing part is 185 cm. The first tensile length L1 obtained by the data acquisition unit 115 is 10 cm, and the user inputs the actual height value H2 185 cm into the data receiving device 116; the data receiving device 116 transmits the actual height value H2185 cm to the memory, which calculates based on the received actual height value H2 185 cm, i.e. 185 cm−10 cm=175 cm. Optionally, the user can obtain the actual height value H2 of the first fixed assembly 102 through any method such as steel tape measure, tape measure, or sticky graduation 101.

In this implementation, the memory 114 is further configured to determine whether the actual height value from the data receiving device 116 is received before calculating the height of the user, and if so, calculate the height of the user based on the actual height value and the first tensile length. That is, when the user inputs the actual height value, the memory prioritizes calculating the height of the user based on the actual height value and the first tensile length, thus ensuring the height of the user is calculated accurately.

In another embodiment, the height measurement system 10 further comprises a data receiving device 116. The data receiving device 116 is configured to receive a preset height value H3 of the head plate 105; the data acquisition unit 115 is configured to obtain a second tensile length L2 of the tape 111 when the head plate 105 moves from the preset height to the top of the head of the user, and to transmit the second tensile length L2 to the memory 114; the memory 114 is also configured to calculate the height of the user based on the preset height value H3 and the second tensile length L2. The preset height value H3 is a preset height to which the head plate 105 is moved downwardly by the user during the height measurement. In this way, the error caused by the difference between the actual height and the standard height of the measured value can be eliminated.

For example, the standard height value H1 is set to 180 cm; the actual height value H2 of the first fixed assembly 102 connected to the fixing part is 185 cm; the user moves the head plate 105 downward to a preset height value H3 of 170 cm, and the data acquisition device 115 acquires the second tensile length L2 of 10 cm. The user inputs the preset height value H3 170 cm into the data receiving device 116, and the data receiving device 116 transmits the preset height value H3 170 cm to the memory. The memory calculates the height of the user based on the received preset height value H3 of 170 cm and the second tensile length L2 of 10 cm, i.e., 170 cm−10 cm=160 cm. Optionally, the user may obtain the preset height value H3 170 cm of the head plate 105 by any means such as steel tape measure, leather ruler, or a sticky graduation 101.

In this embodiment, the memory 114 is further configured to determine whether a preset height value from the data receiving device 116 has been received before calculating the height of the user, and if so, calculate the height of the user based on the preset height value and the second tensile length. That is, when the user inputs the preset height value, the memory prioritizes calculating the height of the user based on the preset height value and the second tensile length, thus ensuring that the calculated height of the user is accurate.

As an embodiment, the data acquisition unit 115 is a capacitive gate sensor. The use of the capacitive gate sensor to obtain the tensile length of the tape 111 is prior art and will not be described in detail herein.

As an implementation, the capacitive gate sensor is disposed on the mounting assembly 113. In specific applications, when the mounting assembly 113 is connected to the first fixed assembly 102, the capacitive gate sensor is disposed on the first fixed assembly 102; when the mounting assembly 113 is connected to the second fixed assembly 104, the capacitive gate sensor is disposed on the second fixed assembly 104.

As an implementation, the memory is disposed on the mounting assembly 113 or an intelligent terminal independent of the height measurement system 10. That is to say, the memory can be integrated into the digital tape measure 103 or into the intelligent terminal. When the memory is integrated into the digital tape measure 103, the height of the user is calculated using the digital tape measure 103; when the memory is integrated into the intelligent terminal, the height of the user is calculated by the intelligent terminal.

Optionally, the intelligent terminal includes but is not limited to mobile phones, tablets, computers, etc.

As an implementation, the data receiving device 116 is disposed on the mounting assembly 113 or an intelligent terminal independent of the height measurement system 10. That is to say, the data receiving device 116 may be integrated into the digital tape measure 103 or into an intelligent terminal. When the data receiving device 116 is integrated into the digital tape measure 103, the user can input the actual height value of the first fixed assembly 102 or the preset height value of the head plate 105 via the digital tape measure 103; when the memory is integrated into the intelligent terminal, the user can input the actual height value of the first fixed assembly 102 or the preset height value of the head plate 105 through the intelligent terminal.

As an embodiment, the height measurement system 10 further comprises a result output device 117; the memory 114 is further configured to transmit the obtained height of the user to the result output device 117. The result output device 117 is used to output the height of the user. In this way, the measurement results can be easily obtained by the user. In addition, the result output device 117 can store and record the results of each measurement so that the growth trends of the user can be recorded and data can be analyzed.

As an embodiment, the result output device 117 is a display device or a voice prompting device. When the result output device 117 is a display device, the user can obtain the measurement results with his/her eyes; when the result output device 117 is a voice prompting device, the user can listen to the measurement results with his/her ears.

As an implementation, the result output device 117 is disposed on the mounting assembly 113 and/or an intelligent terminal independent of the height measurement system 10. That is, the result output device 117 can be disposed on the mounting assembly 113 (i.e., the result output device 117 is integrated into the digital tape measure 103), or the intelligent terminal is provided with the result output device 117 (i.e., the result output device 117 is integrated into the intelligent terminal). The result output device 117 can be disposed on both the mounting assembly 113 and the intelligent terminal. When the result output device 117 is disposed on the mounting assembly 113, the digital tape measure 103 outputs the measurement results; when the result output device 117 is disposed in the intelligent terminal, the intelligent terminal outputs the measurement result. When the result output device 117 is disposed on both the mounting assembly 113 and the intelligent terminal, both the digital tape measure 103 and the intelligent terminal can output the measurement results.

As an implementation, the information receiving device 118 is disposed on the mounting assembly 113 and/or an intelligent terminal independent of the height measurement system 10.

In other words, the information receiving device 118 is disposed in the mounting assembly 113 (i.e., the information receiving device 118 is integrated into the digital tape measure 103), or the information receiving device 118 is disposed in the intelligent terminal (i.e., the information receiving device 118 is integrated into the intelligent terminal). Furthermore, the information receiving device 118 can be disposed in both the mounting assembly 113 and the intelligent terminal. When the information receiving device 118 is disposed in the mounting assembly 113, commands and instructions can be input directly to the digital tape measure 103. When the information receiving device 118 is disposed in the intelligent terminal, the instructions and configuration information can be input through the intelligent terminal; when the information receiving device 118 is disposed in both the mounting assembly 113 and the intelligent terminal, the commands and configuration information can be input either through the digital tape measure 103 or through the intelligent terminal.

As an implementation, the data receiving device 116 and the information receiving device 118 may be the same device.

As an embodiment, the memory 114 is further configured to: compare the obtained height value of the user with a previously obtained height value. In this way, the user can know the height change, which improves the user experience.

As an embodiment, the memory 114 is further configured to: compare the obtained height value of the user with a standard height value. In this way, the user knows whether the current height is normal or not. Optionally, the standard height value may be a standard for the age and height of an adolescent.

Optionally, the functions of the digital tape measure 103 can be configured according to the result output device 117 for outputting one or more selected functions for displaying the measurement results as needed, and the functions for configuration include at least one of the following groups: units (cm/in), resolution, voice (male/female voice, etc.), a language category (Chinese/English, etc.), setting a height standard, storing current data, and calibration of the tape measure.

According to the disclosure, the digital tape measure 103 is configured for use by different groups of users, not only through the inputting means such as buttons on the digital tape measure, but also through the interaction between a communication interface with the result output device.

For example, the user determines the function to be applied by the circuit unit of the digital tape measure by setting the function that controls the measurement data, such as the display setting indicated by cm or in. Upon completion of this configuration, the communication between the intelligent terminal and the digital tape measure may be terminated. The digital tape measure then displays the measurement results in cm according to the display unit. In other words, before the digital tape measure is used for the measurement operation or the display device, these operations or functions can be set by the user using the intelligent terminal (in this case, the information receiving device 118 is located at the intelligent terminal).

For example, the users can set the age of the tester on the information receiving device 118. The information receiving device 118 store the standard height values of that age (such as standard height, −2 SD height, −1 SD body height, +1 SD height, +2 SD height) in the memory of the digital tape measure through the communication interface. After completing this configuration, the communication between the information receiving device 118 and the digital tape measure is terminated. After the measurement, the height measurement system automatically compares the height test value with the standard value in the memory to determine whether the tester's height meets the standard (the result can be shown through voice prompts or LCD display).

As an embodiment, the digital tape measure 103 is also integrated with a wireless module. The wireless module is at least capable of wirelessly transmitting the data information within the digital tape measure 103 to an intelligent terminal, such as: the data obtained by a data acquisition unit 115, the obtained height value of the user calculated by the memory integrated within the digital tape measure 103. Understandably, in other embodiments, it is also possible that the digital tape measure 103 is not integrated with a wireless module, and the data transmission can be carried out via a data cable.

The height measurement of the disclosure is specifically performed in the following manner:

    • 1) When both the memory and the data receiving device 116 are integrated in the digital tape measure 103, the digital tape measure 103 receives the input information of the user and calculates to obtain the height of the user;
    • 2) When both the memory and the data receiving device 116 are integrated in the intelligent terminal, the intelligent terminal receives the input information of the user and the information of the data acquisition unit 115, and then calculates to obtain the height of the user;
    • (3) When the memory is integrated in the digital tape measure 103 and the data receiving device 116 is integrated in the intelligent terminal, the intelligent terminal receives the input information of the user and transmits it to the digital tape measure 103, and then the digital tape measure 103 calculates the height of the user;
    • (4) When the data receiving device 116 is integrated into the digital tape measure 103 and the memory is integrated into the intelligent terminal, the digital tape measure 103 receives the input information of the user and transmits it to the intelligent terminal, and at the same time transmits the information obtained by the data acquisition unit 115 to the intelligent terminal, the intelligent terminal calculates the height of the user.

Example 2

As shown in FIGS. 3-7, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a height measurement system of the disclosure; FIG. 4 is an exploded view of a height measurement system of the disclosure; FIG. 5 is another exploded view of a height measurement system of the disclosure; FIG. 6 is a wireless communication diagram of a height measurement system of the disclosure; FIG. 7 is a wired communication diagram of a height measurement system of the disclosure.

The height measurement system of the disclosure comprises a sticky graduation 101, a first fixed assembly 102, a digital tape measure 103, a second fixed assembly 104, a head plate 105 and a mobile terminal 112. The first fixed assembly 102 comprises a paster 106, a female buckle 107, a male buckle 108 and a housing 109. The housing 109 comprises a plurality of grooves 110. The sticky graduation 101 is affixed to a fixed part (e.g. a flat surface such as a wall, etc.) by means of gluing or bolting. The head plate 105 is pulled downwards to touch the top of the head of a user, which can enhance the accuracy of the measurement, and at the same time reduce the overall size of the device, thus being convenient for home use. The digital tape measure 103 can be disassembled for storage after use.

In specific applications, it is also possible not to set the sticky graduation 101, when no sticky graduation 101 is disposed, the measurements can be made by a steel tape measure or a leather ruler, etc.

The digital tape measure 103 is connected to the sticky graduation 101 through the first fixed assembly 102. The second fixed assembly 104 is disposed on the tape head 111a of the tape 111. The head plate 105 is connected to the tape head 111a through the second fixed assembly 104. The digital tape measure 103 is detachably connected to the sticky graduation 101 through the first fixed assembly 102. The digital tape measure 103 comprises a mounting assembly 113 and the tape 111. The sticky graduation 101 may be provided with a back adhesive. The sticky graduation 101 is fixed on the wall surface through the adhesive effect of the back adhesive. The sticky graduation 101 can also be provided with a screw hole, which can be used for fixing the sticky graduation on the wall surface. The head plate 105 is a right-angled structure, and one right-angled surface is tightened to the wall surface and one right-angled surface is tightened to the top of the head during the measuring process. This structure facilitates the positioning of the measurement and improves the accuracy of the height measurement. Before measurement, press the button of the digital tape measure 103, the working mode of the digital tape measure can be changed to height measurement mode. After resetting, the digital tape measure 103 will display the preset initial value, and the digital tape measure 103 will be mounted and fixed by the first fixed assembly 102 during measurement. After the fixing operation, the tape head 111a is driven by pulling the head plate 105, and the height reading can be directly displayed on the digital tape measure 103. When the height data is steadily displayed for more than a certain time (e.g. 3 s), the digital tape measure can transmit the data to the mobile terminal 112 through the wireless module built into the digital tape measure, and the mobile terminal 112 completes the analysis, processing and collection of the data. After the measurement, take down the digital tape measure 103 for storage, and switch the digital tape measure 103 to its original mode.

The paster 106 is attached to the sticky graduation 101 and is located on one side of the sticky graduation 101; the female buckle 107 is fixedly attached to the paster 106 and located on the side of the paster 106 away from the sticky graduation 101; the male buckle 108 is detachably connected to the female buckle 107 and is disposed on the female buckle 107; the housing 109 is fixedly connected to the male buckle 108 and is connected to the digital tape measure 103, and is disposed on the male buckle 108.

The grooves are disposed on and through the housing 109.

The sticky graduation 101 is printed with an installation reference line. During installation, align the lower edge of the paster 106 with the installation reference line on the sticky graduation 101. The installation methods of the sticky graduation 101 include but are not limited to using back stickers, nails fixation, and self-adhesive pasting.

The opening of the female buckle 107 is facing upwards, and the housing 109 is installed on the sticky graduation 101 through the insertion of the female buckle.
